Glee-" Awake, .Ejlian Lyre." ^^'''y- Awake ^olian Lyre, and give to rap aire all thy trembling strings. From Helicon's harmonious springs , A thousand rills their mazy progress take. The laughing flowers that round them blow, Drink life and fragrance as they flow. Now the rich stream of music winds along, Deep, majestic, smooth and strong, Through verdant vales, and (-ere's golden reign ; Now, headlong impetuous, see it pour. The rocks and nodding groves rebellow to the roar. 3. Madrigal — " Soon as I careless strayed Fesla. Soon as I careless strayed, fond youth with eyes averted, Phillis I met, by all the swains deserted ; Swift she, (tho' late so coy) then flew to meet me ; My back I turned all deaf to her entreaty ; She warbled thus her ditty : Shepherd now have pity, ■ And to your faithful lover, your pnssion true discover ; Then did I cold and haughty view her, and thus replied unto her The love that's won by gold will prove undoing ; So sinc3 my purse is empty, I'll go no more a wooing.

Dry thy tears, Iter journey lies On the way to paradise!" And t!ie child that way would know, And questions eagerly each stranger, " I'oor girl ! 'tis a long way to go, And rough the road, and full of danger." But by hope, still her feet are led, The pious pilgrimage pursuing, And faith her courage keeps renewing, While charity supplies her bread. Ever hoping, nerer drooping, For she thinks her journey lies On the way to Paradise 1 One ev'ning, too weary to stand. With himger faint, a shepherd heeds her. And he takes the child by her hand, And on to a convent he leads her. The sisters hurry to the door ! Too late! the child grows pale and shivers; 'Tis death that in mercy delivers, And in heav'n the mother restores. God before her thither bore her, And now the child's journey lies On the way to Paradise. Yes, now the child's journey lies On the way to Paradise ! 8. Glee—" The Cloud Cap't Tow'rs." Sir R.J.
